Morgan urges Leicester to get out of 'mess'

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan insists his team are aware of just how dire their situation is in the Premier League.

Last season's champions find themselves in a relegation battle, sitting just a point clear of 18th-placed Hull City after a 2-0 loss at Swansea City on Sunday.

Claudio Ranieri's men are without a league goal this year, going six games without finding the net.

"We are not in a good position. We have to be realistic. We have to turn it around sooner rather than later. You can't dwell on the past," the defender said.

"We lost at Swansea and it is a bad result but there are still points to be won and we start to need winning.

"We had a big week talking, trying to put things right and trying to build the team spirit so we can get ourselves out of this mess."

"It is very disappointing. We wanted to draw a line under previous performances and pick up a win," the Jamaica international said.

"We wanted to show some determination, fight and hunger, and in bits we did that.

"But we can't keep a clean sheet and we concede at the worst times it seems, and we can't bounce back from it at the moment."
